Hi everyone,
I’m fairly new to HA and currently having trouble setting up my ZBDongle-E to work with Matter and Zigbee devices and could use some assistance. Here’s what I’ve done and the issues I’m encountering:
Setup Details:
- Hardware: ZBDongle-E
- Purpose: Use with Matter and Zigbee devices
- Multi-PAN Version: 4.3.1 on the Sonoff dongle
- Home Assistant: Running on a Proxmox VM
- Core: 2024.5.5
- Supervisor: 2024.05.1
- OS: 12.3
- Frontend: 20240501.1
- Proxmox VM: Correctly passing through the Sonoff USB device to the machine
Steps Followed:
- Bought a ZBDongle-E to use with Matter and Zigbee devices and used “darkxst” to change firmware to Multi-PAN.
- Followed some YouTube guides on installing Silicon Labs Multiprotocol and Zigbee2MQTT
- Checked configuration and all seems okay

If I change the firmware to use Zigbee (EZSP) 7.3.1.0 then zigbee2mqtt starts as normal. I won’t be able to use silicone labs multiprotocol though and my matter devices won’t work?
Not sure what else I should be trying?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
